Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in synovial tissues of osteoarthritis via RNA-sequencing

ABSTRACT: Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of disability. This study attempted to investigate the key mRNAs and miRNAs related to OA. Patients and methods: From April 17th, 2018 to May 17th, 2018, five patients with OA and three normal controls were enrolled in this present study. To identify the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) between patients with OA and normal controls, RNA-sequencing was performed. Then, DEmiRNA-target DEmRNAs analysis and functional annotation of DEmiRNA-target DEmRNAs were performed. To validate the RNA-sequencing results, quantitative real time-PCR (RT-PCR) and western blot analysis were performed as well. Results: A total of 1068 DEmRNAs, 21 DEmiRNAs and 395 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA pairs were identified in synovial tissues of patients with OA. The functional annotation of DEmiRNA-target DEmRNAs revealed that Pathways in cancer and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway were significantly enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. QRT-PCR and western blot results revealed that except for TLR7, the expression level of the others was consistent with the RNA-sequencing results, generally. Conclusion: The findings of this present study may provide new clues for the roles of DEmRNAs and DEmiRNAs in the pathogenesis of OA.

Project description:Purpose：Early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is vital to improve the prognosis of these patients. However, early diagnosis of NPC is typically challenging.Therefore, we explored the roles and mechanisms of exosomes in plasma of patients with early-stage NPC. Methods: Exosomes in plasma were extracted by ultra-high-speed centrifugation.Western blot and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to verify the purity of exosomes. The sequencing data (6 plasma samples from healthy volunteers vs. 6 NPC plasma samples) were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA), DESeq2, gene ontology (GO), kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG), and TargetScan. The differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were obtained from the dataset (GSE118720) downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. Additionally, the datasets downloaded from the GEO database (GSE12452, GSE13597, GSE53819, GSE64634) were used to predict the target genes and functions of hsa-miR-1301-3p. qPCR was applied to verify the differences in the expressions of hsa-miR-1301-3p between 10 normal plasma and 10 NPC plasma samples. Results:Western blot, TEM, and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis showed adequate purity of the extracted exosomes. RNA-seq analysis revealed 21 upregulated miRNAs, and 10 downregulated miRNAs in plasma exosomes of early-stage NPC patients. GO analysis showed that the target genes of DEmiRNAs were mainly enriched in DNA synthesis and transcription regulation. KEGG analysis revealed that DEmiRNAs were mainly enriched in PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. Moreover, the expression of hsa-mir-1301-3p was verified to be significantly upregulated in enlarged samples of plasma exosomes. Conclusions:We identified several DEmiRNAs extracted from tumor-derived exosomes between normal plasma and early-stage NPC plasma. Bioinformatics analyses indicated that these DEmiRNAs may be related to NPC development. Our study may provide novel insights into underlying biomarkers and mechanisms of plasma exosomes in early-stage NPC.
